The old man you see with your phone is highly suspicious.

So at this point, Xue's law also realized that something was wrong.

The King of Troy extends an invitation to a falcon party to you, which even includes the sisters Chrysace and Chrysace, who will later be known for their beauty, comparable to Helen's.

yes or no?

Xue immediately nodded in no and stepped back behind Hector.

He certainly didn't want to be wearing a green hat (a symbol of being cheated on) on his head in the future. This was ancient Greece, you know...

Moreover, his purpose in coming here was indeed for a Trojan princess, but not for the Eagle.

Seeing Xue Luding take a half step back, the princesses, who had been full of enthusiasm, suddenly felt disheartened, because it was a sign that the hero had rejected them.

However, Xue Dinglu did not notice the princesses who seemed about to cry. He looked at the girl who had not come closer to him but had been quietly huddled in the corner.

She was also a princess of Troy, but unlike her sisters, she lived a life of tragedy filled with suspicion.

That was Cassandra, the Trojan princess known as the "Witch of Prophecy," who was on par with Medea, the "Witch of Betrayal," in Greek mythology.

She was cursed by the serpent god and possessed the ability to see the future and destiny, but at the cost of not being trusted by any Greek.

Therefore, in the original history, even though she saw the future of the Trojan War, no one believed anything she said. Instead, they considered her a jinx and imprisoned her.

Even her siblings, and even her parents, did not believe her. They all thought she was a wicked woman full of lies. This was the price she paid for gaining the ability to prophesy.

But at this moment, Xue Dinglu abandoned those flamboyant princesses and walked to the side of this inconspicuous witch, softly asking the girl who was about 13 years old: "Did you see? My ending."

Cassandra, who had been like Cinderella at the banquet, raised her head and looked at the "benevolent hero" in front of her with her lovely face.

"Will...will you believe me?" she asked almost excitedly, after all, she had been used to no one believing anything she said since she was a child.

Compared to the other princesses with their curvaceous figures, she was as thin as a farmer's child, with a gaunt body. Even her own parents disliked her for being a "liar."

But at this moment, for the first time, she felt the joy of being believed in, and Cassandra prepared to use her prophecy. She would not let this hero down and would give the most perfect prophecy.

“My beloved hero, my daughter is truly unruly; she is a child who loves to lie. The ones who are truly suited for you are the elfin-like Chrysace and Brises, whose beauty is both in appearance and soul.” The king began to feel that things were going beyond his expectations.

While he did have the idea of ​​using his daughter as a commodity to win over heroes, this "liar" daughter was definitely not included.

"Shh!" Xue Ludao gestured for the king to be quiet.

The king could only turn his head to look at Hector, and the princes also turned to look at their elder brother.

Seeing that Hector didn't react, the atmosphere became extremely strange, and everyone looked at Xue Dinglu, who was squatting in front of the little girl.

Ignoring the malicious or disapproving looks, Xue said to Cassandra, "I will believe you, so, do you see?"

“I…I can definitely see it.” Cassandra launched her prophecy toward Xue’s Law, but the next moment, she was completely stunned.

She stood frozen in place like a statue. Under the gaze of countless people, tears welled up in her eyes. She seemed to be desperately trying to cover her mouth, but she couldn't control the tears, which flowed down her cheeks like surging waves and dripped onto the ground.

"We succeeded, didn't we?" Xue Dinglu smiled gently, "In that future..."

But in Cassandra's eyes, why could this hero still laugh? Why could he still laugh even knowing he was facing such a future...?

She covered her mouth; she couldn't speak, because if she did, the gods would know, and everything the hero had done would be in vain—something she absolutely, absolutely could not forgive!

She covered her mouth tightly, tears welling up, and simply nodded.

……

[So that's how it is. Is this how her prophetic abilities are realized?] The Great Sage sent a message through the panel.

[Possessing the ability to observe "history," yet receiving no trust from anyone or any god—is this the principle behind such abilities in this world?]

[Child, I have finished analyzing it.]

I'll try adding a prediction module for you.

Chapter 43 I have a plan that can bring clarity to the situation.

"Thank you, and I will repay you by banishing your illness and pain, and wishing you a happy life from now on." Xue Dinglu stretched out his bandaged hand, ready to touch the little girl's head.

Xue's gratitude was genuine, not only because he knew their plan was bound to succeed.

Furthermore, it allowed the Great Sage to decipher these strange abilities from the Age of Gods.

Although both are prophecies, their principles are completely different. The prophecy of the great sage is closer to mathematically calculating the most likely result based on known information. In any case, it is still a kind of "calculation".

The sorcery of the witch before us, however, works on the principle of allowing us to see the "history" of the future and thus know what lies ahead.

The Great Sage's divination technique cannot be made into a module for the time being because the required computing power is beyond what Xue's Law can currently handle, but the witch's divination technique can.

With a finger on her forehead, Xue Dinglu activated the power of the cursed blood.

"No..." The little girl was about to stop Xue Luding's self-harming behavior, but before she could reach out, she felt warmth all over her body, and her long-term malnourished body was completely restored.

Xue Daolu released his lightly tapped finger and left the palace, leaving behind a group of princes and princesses looking at each other in bewilderment.

Now that you've got the answer you wanted, go for it.

“Old man, I suddenly understand you a little.” Xue Luding looked at the sunset in ancient Greece, perhaps he understood the meaning of coming here.

After Xue left, everyone turned their attention to Cassandra, their previously least favorite sister.

What exactly did she see?

Even though Xue Dinglu had left, she still covered her mouth tightly, sobbing uncontrollably. She had truly seen a brand new future, an incredibly beautiful future.

but……

but……

Hero, isn't all of this too cruel for you?

"Cassandra, what did you see?" the king asked first.

He also began to wonder, for a Greek who was a fan of heroes, the most infuriating thing was when someone knew more about the hero's deeds but deliberately kept quiet about them; that feeling was as uncomfortable as ants crawling all over him.

But Cassandra kept her mouth tightly shut. If she hadn't wanted to tell the truth before because of her curse, no one would have believed her. But now, she would keep the secret for the sake of the hero's plan.

Even if it means my own death.

"What did you see? Don't cover your mouth!" The prince also felt a pang in his heart, as if an epic was unfolding right before his eyes, but he knew nothing about it. This feeling was no less than torture for the Greeks.

“No, I can’t say, don’t force me…” Cassandra stepped back; she absolutely wouldn’t say it.

“Alright, Cassandra, listen to me,” Hector interrupted his younger siblings. Here, his authority was even more effective than that of the king.

He simply patted his unassuming little sister calmly and said, "You just need to say what you think you can say, little Cassandra."

Looking at her eldest brother Hector, the only brother Cassandra didn't dislike, even though he also didn't believe what she said, Hector would always just listen without mocking or insulting her.

“The compassionate hero… his power is not healing, but transferring the illnesses, pain, and injuries of others onto himself, bearing the suffering of the world with his own body…” Cassandra said earnestly, looking at her brother.

However, at that moment, the other princes and kings all laughed.

"Impossible. How could anyone use such abilities to help those civilians?"

"Yes, he must have received a revelation from Apollo and possesses the healing abilities of the gods."

"Cassandra is lying again."

Amidst the laughter of the crowd, Cassandra offered no defense, while Hector remained silent.

He felt someone was constantly telling him, "Little Cassandra is lying," but he recalled everything he had seen—the selfless hero covered in bandages.

For some reason, Hector felt for the first time that Cassandra was telling the truth.

He immediately left the palace and followed in the direction Xue Dinglu had gone, which surprised all the princes.

Unbeknownst to anyone, a white owl, as an observer, had witnessed everything and also heard the witch's words.

……

But the more visions this prophetic witch saw are secrets she will never reveal.

She saw the hero surrounded by a crowd and said, "I have a plan that can bring clarity to the situation, but it requires offering your head to Zeus."

"Whose head?"

"My head."

And finally, the heroes' decisive battle against the God King...

……

The white owl departed, transforming into a frail old woman, and arrived at the path that Xue's Law was destined to take.

Athena transformed into an old woman riddled with illness, and every step she took seemed to feel as if she were facing death.

Mortals did not believe Cassandra's words, but Athena did, especially since she was very curious as to why the child cried so much after seeing Xue's Law's future.

She was very curious: what was that hero hiding, and what was his purpose?

She had originally planned to secretly pry Cassandra's mouth open, but then gave up, because she knew that Cassandra would rather die than reveal Xue's secret.

Hearing something from someone else is never as good as seeing it for yourself. She held a tiny thread in her hand, a thread of fate she had obtained from the three goddesses of destiny.

She wanted to see the fate of this compassionate hero, to see everything about him.

On the very path that Xue's Law was destined to take, the dying old woman collapsed in front of him.

The last rays of dusk still lingered, not yet completely dissipated, and there were still many Trojans around.

Many people bowed to Xue Dalu as if they were worshippers, and Xue Dalu did not stop them.

Until he saw the old woman, who was filled with the aura of death, fall in front of him.

Our key ally, whom we were able to win over, has arrived.

On the panel of the consciousness space, the Great Sage said this to Xue's Law.

“Xerides…” Hector’s voice came, and he saw the frail old woman. In an instant, he realized something was wrong.

Hector had a keen eye; he immediately noticed that the old woman was not normal.

With her illness and physical condition, she should have died long ago; even if she were alive, she wouldn't be lying on the street.

Moreover, with just one glance, he could tell that the old woman had several incurable diseases.

However, Hector saw that Xue's Law did not consider it, but instead stretched out his hand, ready to cast his healing spell.

"Stop! Xerides!" Hector shouted urgently.

This exclamation interrupted Xue's rule, and also interrupted Athena's disguise.
